Public Performances:  Inspired by audience suggestions, we'll improvise scenes about dating & relationship challenges.  Anything is fair game!  First, we'll have fun with "what NOT to do" in any given situation.  Then, Daniel Phoenix, MA (Counseling Psychology) and the cast will create healthy solutions to each challenge, and perform them live!  Topics will include:  "Adventures in Dating," "More Joy Couples," "Healthy Sexuality" (NO NUDITY is required), "Your Life Partner in the Mirror," and more.

Daniel Phoenix, MA, Founder, Fireball Improv:  Daniel received his Masters in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 1995.  Since then, he has designed and led hundreds of speaking engagements, edu-tainment performances, playshops, shaman sessions, and "just for fun" events.  Daniel's mission is to make personal development easily accessible to the general public.  He has done this by creating fun and interactive mediums (such as edu-tainment theatre), and by addressing provocative topics (such as dating, relationships, and sexuality).

Paid Cast:  Cast members will be paid (part-time AND on a project basis) for our:  public performances, private educational theater performances (such as "Sexual Assault and Rape Prevention" for college students, Greeks), and playshops (fans of our public performances sign up to role-play with us in a workshop format).  Some of our cast members may also wish to take part in our "just for fun" events and/or our marketing and sales work.  About half of our 8-10 person cast will be college and graduate students.
